Massively important to also acknowledge translators and translation theory in Kang's work after the controversy Deborah Smith endured for The Vegetarian.
That being said, Kang won the Nobel on her merit as a storyteller. A simply stunning writer who more than deserves the prize.
✨ As always, make sure you also celebrate the translators! Han Kang was crafted into English by @videshi_beti @p_niyahmorris & Emily Yae Won ✨

The Academy of American Poets has published this poem, and that is a very, very good thing.

There is a point where insomnia goes past problematic and into psychotic, and that point was 3 hours ago.
It is warm and I am cranky. Please, body, I am *begging* you. Let. Me. Rest. 😭

The Belfast Anti-fascist demo sings #BellaCiao and vastly outnumbers the few who turned up to promote racism, Islamaphobia and hate
